The Freight Rate Type identifies how the freight/delivery portion (as opposed to the handling portion) of the total freight cost is calculated on Sales Order and Transfer Shipments. The options include:
- Fixed Amt - Gross Weight: A flat/fixed rate has been quoted for the shipment and the user wants the total freight expense allocated to each line-item based on the prorated share of the total "Gross Weight".
- Fixed Amt - Net Weight: A flat/fixed rate has been quoted for the shipment and the user wants the total freight expense allocated to each line-item based on the prorated share of the total "Net Weight".
- $/UOM - Gross Wt: A variable (per Lb) rate has been quoted for the shipment and the user wants the total freight expense allocated to each line-item based on the prorated share of the total "Gross Weight".
- $/UOM - Net Wt: A variable (per Lb) rate has been quoted for the shipment and the user wants the total freight expense allocated to each line-item based on the prorated share of the total "Net Weight".
